Application November 10, 1945, Serial No. 627,835

1 Claim.

My invention has for its object to provide a sanitary and convenientneck protector and absorbent pad for nested engagement with a shampooboard, whereby the back of the neck of a patron is .protected in ashampooing operation, it being understood that the neck protector is asanitary substitute for a towel which is usually used. Thus these simpleand economical protectors are freshly supplied in each hair shampooingoperation.

With the above and other objects in view, which will appearas thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the novel construction,combination and arrangement of parts, substantially as hereinafterdescribed, and more particularly defined by the appended claim, it beingunderstood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the hereindisclosed invention may be made as come within the scope of the claim.

In the accompanying drawings is illustrated one complete example of thephysical embodiment of the present invention constructed according tothe best mode so far devised. for the practical application of theprinciples thereof.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 represents a perspective view of a standard shampoo board fittedwith a neck protector and absorbent pad, embodying the features of myinvention.

Fig. 2 isa plan view of the same upona magnified scale, with partsbroken away and in section to more clearly illustrate structuralfeatures.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same, the section beingindicated by line 3-3 of Fig. 2, and

Fig. 4 is a sectional end view of the protector, the section beingindicated by line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Referring by characters to the drawings, 1 indicates a U-shaped fibre orpaper collar having a down-turned band portion l', adapted to snugly fitthe neck of a patron.

The collar has secured to its bottom surface a thick fiat absorbant pad2. The front portion of the pad is slightly cut away and folded down- 2wardly to form a cushion wing 3, which wing is adapted to engage therecess in a standard shampoo board A, as indicated in Fig. 1 of thedrawings. The collar portion I of the pad extends in U shape about theboard recess and is adapted to receive the back of the neck of a patron,as illustrated. Thus it will be noted that a comfortable,

'soft and sanitary neck pad is produced for the protection of a patron,whereby drainage from the hair, in a shampooing operation, is trappedand deflected into the shampoo board.

It is understood that a fresh pad is employed with each shampootreatment, whereby sanitation will result and the expense in providingtowels for this purpose is avoided.

Emphasis is called to the fact that the fiber or paper collar, afteruse, is replaced by a fresh one.

Furthermore it should also be noted that the front wall of the pad isout backward at either end to form ears which are secured to the collarby staples or other means. Furthermore due to the back out at either endof the pad it frees a wing 3, which wing is folded downwardly to form acushion.

I claim:

A neck protector and absorbent pad for shampoo boards, comprising aU-shaped fiber or paper collar adapted to be nested about the neck ofthe patron, a rectangular thick flat absorbent pad, the same being cutback to form a down-turned front wing with end ears at a right angle tothe same, and means for attaching the ears to the removable collars.
